- Standard round tensile specimen, 2 in. or 50 mm gauge length; small-size alternatives for 1/2-in. Y-block per Clause 11.1; Special applications, such as pipes and fittings; Test coupons represent the same ladle or heat and receive the same thermal treatment as the castings. Coupon size is selected by the purchaser, or by the manufacturer if not specified. No quantitative coupon-to-casting property relationship is prescribed.

Notes
ASTM A536 · Edition 84(1999)e1
[1] Tensile Strength: Chemical requirements may be agreed between manufacturer and purchaser. Hardness requirements apply only when specified in the contract or purchase order; no numerical hardness limit is prescribed. Special microstructure, pressure-tightness, radiographic, magnetic-particle, dimensional and surface-finish requirements apply only when specified in the contract or purchase order.
[2] Yield Strength: Yield strength is determined at 0.2% offset; another method requires mutual agreement.
[3] Elongation: Elongation gauge length: 2 in. or 50 mm. For a 1/2-in. Y-block use a permitted small-size specimen.
[4] Tensile Strength: The inch-pound values govern. SI values reproduce the printed and are not independent requirements.; Informative reference value; not an acceptance requirement
[5] Yield Strength: Yield strength is determined at 0.2% offset; another method requires mutual agreement.; The inch-pound values govern. SI values reproduce the printed and are not independent requirements.; Informative reference value; not an acceptance requirement
